  1. Sophos Safeguard Enterprise: A Solution for Data Protection Presented by: W3(cube)

  2. Problem statement Threat of Data theft or exposure from lost, stolen, or inappropriate decommissioned laptops.

  3. What is security? “In the real world, security involves processes. It involves preventative technologies, but also detection and reaction processes, and an entire forensic system to hunt down and prosecute the guilty. Security is not a product; it itself is a process…..” Bruce Shneiner (Secrets and Lies, Wiley and Sons, Inc.)

  4. Challenges to achieving laptop security • Cost • User negligence/sabotage of security measures • Increased value of information • Increase in access to computers =increased hackers not limited by time and space

  5. The Threat to Data is Real!!

  6. A Perspective on Laptop Theft and Data Loss • Laptop theft and data loss are escalating concerns for companies of all sizes - from Fortune 500 level to small-to-medium sized businesses - and according to the FBI, 97% of stolen laptops are never recovered. • As employees become increasingly more mobile and rely on multiple mobile devices from laptops, smartphones and iPads to conduct business, crimes associated with these devices are also on the rise. Malicious insiders as well as outside culprits are increasingly becoming more innovative and inventive in finding ways to steal valuable information and proprietary data from company and employee mobile devices and laptops that don't have appropriate endpoint security.

  7. Myths on data security The field of data security is rife with mistaken beliefs which cause people to design ineffective security solutions. Here are some of the most prevalent security myths: Myth: Hackers cause most security breaches. • In fact, 80% of data loss is to caused by insiders. Myth: Encryption makes your data secure. • In fact, encryption is only one approach to securing data. Security also requires access control, data integrity, system availability, and auditing. Myth: Firewalls make your data secure. • In fact, 40% of Internet break-ins occur in spite of a firewall being in place. To design an effective security solution you must understand the security requirements scope of current threats to your data. http://Data Security Challenges:Oracle9i Security Overview

  8. Four Elements of an Effective Data Loss Prevention Strategy • Control devices, applications, email and web usage • Ensure security policy compliance Control User Environment by restricting data exit points • Empower knowledge workers to classify sensitive business data • Apply classification to existing documents and data sets Effective Data Loss Prevention Strategy (DLP) Classify intellectual property and sensitive business data Protect confidential and sensitive information • Full disk, removable storage and file encryption • Email encryption Prevent leakage of personal identifiable information • Comprehensive coverage of personally identifiable information types • Continuously assess, audit, report and enforce on endpoint and gateway Source: Sophos / Utimaco Data Loss Prevention by Peter Szendröi, SOPHOS Nordics(Jan 20, 2010) page 10
